We desire to follow the Prophet!
Our Church Leaders have asked us to make a concerted effort to obtain our year’s supply of food and other essentials.
Here are suggestions for a 52 week plan to help us all achieve this. Amounts given are for two people. Adjust the quantities you purchase for the number of family members in your home. The items will change weekly, so keep up with us and take the challenge to
"Become Prepared."
We know if we are prepared we shall not fear!
This is
our plan to become Self-Reliant for 2019:
52
Weeks to get your home prepared for future uncertainties.
For
some of us it will be a brand new start. For others it will be more of a
purge, store and organize as needed. We did not create this but have borrowed it from off the internet (Rancho Ward, unknown stake). We give credit to them. And thanks to Ann Frampton for sharing with us!
We did
72 hour bags (Go Bags) a few years ago. If you haven't updated the food,
you should do so now. Some
people find Conference time works well to reward and replace snacks that are in
your Go Bags. The grandkids love it!
One
thing that we love about this program is that it has a spiritual component for each week.
This is
a BIG undertaking. We understand money is always tight. Can you find some bad
habit that you want to quit and use
that money for home preparedness? And how about a little less time on
social media and putting
forth some sincere effort to get prepared by spending some time on it at least
weekly? Remember the list is for 2 people, so you will need to adjust it to fit your family!
Here's
the link:
You can
print your own list (26 pages long) like we did, but at least spare a tree and
print on both
sides!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) We
are always willing to take your order and pick up your items that you want from the Home Storage Center in Magna. That will, most likely, be the cheapest way to go for those
items.
Be sure you are using the January 2019 list as prices do change at
times.
I like
this link because it tabulates your order and you can print it and give it to
us with a check. The check needs to be made out to me (Mary Jean
Harline) unless we go together so you can provide ID.
2) We will look for and
offer other items that we feel have universal appeal to as many as possible.
We will get
the word out through this website, ward newsletters and handouts.
Dates for checks or Venmo to be turned in and dates for pick-ups will be determined in advance.

3) We are always open to
ideas and suggestions for new products to try.
